3.0

Prose experiments and flights of fancies, some involving a character Lucas, some not. They're not really connected, and Lucas is pretty much the prototypical Cortázarian character (i.e. he's playful, intellectual, silly, weird and a lot of fun). Some pieces worked way better than others, but I loved seeing Cortázar's mind at work, even when it's not quite his best work.
